@HannahDutton8 Even though everyone is getting ready to focus on back to school and the new school year I have the privilege of focusing on my kids a little while longer #livewell323

@HannahDutton8 Being a mom to a newborn has been difficult in giving of my time to our 5 year old. This week I am choosing to give of my time to her any chance I get. #livewell323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W4Q3: I definitely tend to not do a great job with this but I plan on being better about taking care of myself and what it is that need. Incorporating some type of journal or activity that will help me to focus on me and be a happier self. #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W4Q4: I believe that we should incorporate these practices in our schools to help support our Ss who are in crisis. Working alongside our administration and staff we can come up with a plan to help support our Ss the best way that each Ss needs. #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W4Q2: I believe that allowing our Ss to express themselves through the arts is great! Growing up the arts has always helped me decompress! If it’s helpful for Ss than whatever activity helps them we should help them through it! #behaving323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W4Q1: when responding to Ss in crisis the biggest thing I have to remember is to listen and to stay calm. It can be so easy to forget these things with shortened time but definitely will have an impact if I practice. #belonging323 #323learns

@HannahDutton8 Today is a friends birthday. We haven’t spoken in years, I decided to reach out and try and reconnect with her. We started talking and it’s like we never stopped. Made my heart happy! #livewell323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@HannahDutton8 Order in our house is trying to organize all baby things since we weren’t technically ready for his arrival 🤦🏽‍♀️ but slow and steady wins the race right (: #livewell323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@HannahDutton8 Rest looks a lot different now with a new born. Resting is napping when he naps and doing what I can in between 🥰 #livewell323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W3Q2: quick jot, share a note, and kindness centers. Having limited time with my classes I think the first two are easier for me to incorporate into my classes and then kindness centers would be great throughout the schools as a school initiative #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W3Q1: it’s surprising how it’s easier to be kind to others than to themselves. I also appreciated how it’s okay to share your own practices with them in self care. I really think this was a great reminder! #323learns #belonging323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W3Q3: I think having that heartfelt collaborative problem solving with Ss is great because it allows Ss to not only feel like a part of the process but allows them to take responsibility for the action. #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W3Q4:working at three different schools I can see how some schools are really good at this and how others need a little more help.I think when it also becomes a district wide thing it’s helpful because no matter where the Ss is every one is it’s the same #323learns #belonging323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W2Q4: I believe that Ss with challenging behavior definitely need to feel the connection. The connection to their teachers, administrators, and staff. I believe that Ss that have a connection with their teachers tend to excel for them. #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W2Q2: definitely belonging is what resonantes with me the most. Every one no matter the age wants to feel like they belong. I want all my Ss to know that they belong and are cared for and loved. #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W2Q3: I believe that our schools do a great job at communication across the board but I do agree that that one thing all of our schools could work on is incorporating more knowledge of different cultures and backgrounds so that all feel “included”. #323learns #belonging323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W2Q1: working at three different schools I can definitely see how each teacher, administrator, and faculty member makes all students feel like they belong. I love that our district does such a great job at this even with students that have a harder time #belonging323 #323learns

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@HannahDutton8 Finally having my two babies together after all the crazy makes this momma heart so happy. (Feeling Fulfilled) ❤️ #livewell323

[Crystal Rivera @CrystalChapa]

@alyssacabhart W1Q4: i think self care resonates the most with me. The way I like to fo this is by sometimes just “getting away” and having “me” time. Going shopping, getting groceries, watching a movie alone, etc. These all help me “reset” which is so important. #323learns #belonging323
